      Pros

      Good people, team atmosphere, work-life balance is good as far as the amenities that are provided in addition to the on campus activities that keep you motivated and fit

      Cons

      There are opportunities available within the company but finding the best route to advance or reach your end goal can be a challenge. Many workers have been here for a very long time and have a wealth of knowledge that can be passed on to the next generation more effectively.

      Pros

      Probably the best work/life balance you'll ever experience. Great on-site services such as the pool, healthcare clinic, pharmacy, gym, salon, daycare and cafes.

      Cons

      Low pay (because they pay you in benefits instead), zeros career advancement opportunities, top-heavy hierarchy, old-school conservative culture

      Pros

      * IF you are young and just staring out the benefits even for remote employees are nice. However you can find competitive benefits elsewhere as well now. * IF you are at headquarters the sky's the limit on accessing the benefits, however remote employees get access to similar benefits but you will pay more for them or not actually get the same level of benefit out of them (such as on-site daycare, rec facility, etc). * Pay is ok, but you can find better. * If you are looking for a place to hang your hat and you don't care about the challenge or your day to day, this is a place you could spend many years. * Actual work can vary. At times you can land some pretty exciting work.

      Cons

      * Management varies. There is no real cohesive management training. I personally had my best and worst manager of all time while at SAS. * Some in management believe the employee mix will consist of a bell curve so they will never have a team made up of a complete team of extraordinary individuals. At performance review time someone will get the low and high numbers but most will be in the middle no matter what. * Politics run rampant in some areas, others it doesn't. It's just not consistent. * No matter what the individual does within their performance review it will not make a difference with a ill-informed manager. The employee must learn to play the game. * HR practices could use some work. There are no call backs or communications on anything other than hiring actions. So if a job closes or someone else is hired the rejected candidate will never know. * It's hard to know how the actual employee touches the customer and not just affects another company's bottom line. I want to know how I am helping an individual not just making someone else money. * Hard to move around in the company unless you are at HQ. * Would not recommend SAS for middle career employees.
